An Allegory of the Senses
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting that transports viewers to the early seventeenth century. Created by Italian artist Angelo Caroselli, this masterpiece measures 75x99.4 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The painting depicts an allegorical scene where various senses are personified through beautifully rendered figures. A religious elder stands at the center, surrounded by women representing different sensory experiences. The scented smell of flowers fills the air as floral arrangements adorn the composition. Intriguingly, vanity seems to be a recurring theme throughout the artwork. A vain man gazes into a hand mirror while another elderly figure indulges in self-reflection using a compact mirror. This negative concept contrasts with the positive concepts represented by music and beauty. Caroselli's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing intricate clothing and accessories such as hair nets and apparel from this era. The use of dark tones adds depth to the composition, emphasizing each character's unique features. As an attributed work of art from one of Italy's old masters, "An Allegory of the Senses" showcases European artistic excellence during this period. It serves as a reminder of our human connection with nature and our ability to experience life through sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. This print captures all these elements flawlessly thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in preserving fine art for future generations to appreciate and admire without commercial use restrictions
